When I heard that our purchaser had found batteries that are a fraction of the price of Cobra branded batteries I feared the worst. We ve all bought cheap tat from the market only for it to fall apart within days I needn t have worried though these batteries are made by Pama one of Britain s biggest names in consumer electronics accessories.This battery for Cobra PMR is made using high quality CE approved Japanese cells which will power your phone wherever you need. We test all of our batteries before they reach our shelves so you can be sure of their high standard. The battery has an overcharge prevention circuit which apparently extends the lifetime of the battery beyond that of those without this special circuit.That s the technical details out of the way now for reality.Swapping the batteries round couldn t be easier it really is no more taxing than changing the batteries in my remote control Once I d replaced the battery I left the radio to charge overnight which is apparently the norm for new batteries. After 8 hours (yes I do insist on having my full 8 hours sleep) I returned to find my radios fully charged. Having used PMR constantly since then I ve noticed no difference at all in the standby talk or charge time. Summary This battery appears to be identical to the original Cobra branded battery which came with the radio except it costs much less I would recommend this battery to anyone who likes value for their money. Key Features Same performance as original Cobra battery but only a fraction of the price Overcharge prevention circuit to extend the battery s functional lifetime CE approved and RoHS compliant
